Zhang Yichen knew what his father was truly thinking deep down. He also knew that his own sacrifices were making things difficult for others right now. But some things, she wanted to speak about too—no matter the circumstances. Who would willingly let their parents abandon them again and again, forcing them to wander? Who would want their family to view them as an enemy, never considering life from their perspective? For anyone, this is a form of pain. And who would ever wish for such a thing to happen within their own home?
Perhaps, for him, the best outcome would be having them stay by his side time and again, sacrificing their long-term aspirations to pursue something for his sake. At times, he couldn't even understand why he had to live so selfishly, with so much self-interest. And what had living like this ultimately brought him? Pain—over and over again. His family had never stood in his shoes to reflect on whether these things were right or wrong.
